Diana back as fashion collars her 1980s look

MOVE over, Kate: the real, enduring royal fashion icon is Diana. It may be
nearly two decades since the Princess of Wales died in a car crash in Paris,
but her wardrobe is still influencing catwalk designers and high street
stores around the world.

The fashion It-girl Alexa Chung has referenced Diana’s Sloane Ranger look for
her new clothing collaboration with Marks & Spencer. It features a “pie
crust” collar blouse, a favourite style of the princess.

“The pie crust blouse was a huge seller for M&S back in 1982 and
[is] a great example of a past style icon influencing today’s looks,” says
Belinda Earl, style director of Marks & Spencer.
